You can see it now: Fresh air. Blue skies. Skiing down the mountain with your kid. Everyone smiling, laughing and having a good time.
You get off the chairlift with your child. Together you ski down the mountain and feel the thrill of sliding fast down a snowy hill. The picture in your mind is a perfect winter day outdoors.
So why do you keep hearing things like this:
"But Moooom! It's too cold."
"Can we go back inside?"
"This is too hard! I'll never be able to ski!"
Teaching kids to ski isn't easy, but the Online Family Ski School is here to help.
Are you a parent who wants to teach your children to ski? A parent who isn’t quite sure where to start?
We’re parents, too. We are three ski moms with 35 years combined experience skiing with our children. We know the learn-to-ski process can be daunting, so we’re here to help.
Whether you aim to teach your children to ski yourself, you’re looking for a way to help your child’s skiing skills progress or you’re in search of common sense information to make every ski day easier and more fun, the Online Family Ski School can help.
In the course of nine video lessons, you’ll learn about clothing and equipment, how to get on and off all sorts of lifts, and the skills necessary to help your child progress from a “never ever” skier to a little ripper.
Designed to be used on it’s own, or in combination with professional ski lessons, the Online Family Ski School is your one-stop source for inspiration, information and a lifetime of family skiing fun.
That picture perfect family ski experience does exist, but you can't get there by doing what you've always done.

"I feel like the Online Family Ski School gave me lots of little tips that made the whole process of teaching my boys to ski easier and more positive. I don't think I would have thought of playing "red light, green light" on my own, but it is one of the boys' favorites and it teaches a skill while having fun and playing a game."
- Sarah S, mom of 6, 4 and 2 year old boys
